Stephen Fry was imprisoned when he was young for credit card fraud.

[lokhtar]

You can't know what's in someone's soul. You can only judge them by their actions. He made a mistake, society said he should be imprisoned for it, and he was. After he has paid his debt to society, you ought to judge him by his actions subsequent to that. Which, unless you can show otherwise, have been positive...

I'd trust Stephen with my house, car and wallet and sleep very soundly too.

Stealing people's credit card isn't a "mistake". It's theft and fraud. But he's painfully honest now. We know that beacause he's told us so. Whatever...

So thoughtful and compassionate. Such a rich application of life-experience, including terrible mistakes. Such honesty. Stephen Fry is a wonderful role model. If God did exist, I'd thank Her for him.

Mark Lawson seems as though he has Tourettes... no joke on that one. I have a nephew who was diagnosed with Tourettes, and he's exactly the same. It's involuntary, and I agree, very distracting... Interesting brain functions... :)

i cant imagine any mother being more proud than stephen's mom! its not every son who gets to be called a national treasure!

[HaywireHaywood]

Stephen is always playing with his nose like it's twitching for a mirror full of coke.  :)
